Centerplate team at BC Place donates over 5,000 pounds of food this holiday season
December 1st, 2020
BC Place is committed to giving back to the community, especially during this unprecedented and challenging year.
This week the Centerplate team at the stadium was able to donate over 5,000 pounds of food to The Salvation Army Vancouver Harbour Light, which helps serve our neighbours in the Downtown Eastside.
This latest food donation comes after Centerplate donated over 5,000 pounds of food to The Salvation Army earlier this year, along with over 6,000 bags of potato chips, 3,200 cans of pop, and 760 bags of peanuts.
Thank you to our hardworking staff who have continued to find ways to help others throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
